The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced Dan Muse will take over as the team's new coach.
Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas released a statement on Wednesday heralding Muse -- a first-time NHL head coach -- as Mike Sullivan's successor behind the Penguins' bench. Sullivan was relieved of his duties there in April after Pittsburgh failed to make the playoffs for a third straight season.
"During this process, we met with many candidates who we felt would have been a fit as the next head coach of the Penguins," Dubas said.
